Abstract: L'invention porte sur un dispositif, un système, et un procédé de traitement de l'effet de polarisation d'un signal interférométrique reçu d'un échantillon dans un système de tomographie à cohérence optique (TCO). On peut en particulier recevoir une information interférométrique associée à l'échantillon et à une référence. L'information interférométrique est alors traitée pour réduire l'effet de polarisation créé par la section de détection du système TCO sur le signal interférometrique. On détermine alors la quantité de désatténuation de l'échantillon. L'information interférometrique peut être transmise au moins partiellement sur une fibre optique en communication avec dispositif de séparation des polarisations disposé en amont. Dans une autre exécution, l'appareil et le procédé servent à transmettre des radiations électromagnétiques à l'échantillon. Par exemple l'un au moins des premiers dispositifs peut fournir au moins une radiation électromagnétique dont la fréquence peut varier dans le temps. L'un au moins des seconds dispositifs de modulation de la polarisation peut être conçu pour régler l'état de polarisation d'au moins une première radiation électromagnétique pour produire au moins une deuxième radiation électromagnétique. En outre un troisième dispositif au moins peut être conçu pour recevoir la deuxième radiation électromagnétique et produire au moins une troisième radiation électromagnétique à l'échantillon et une quatrième radiation électromagnétique à une référence. La troisième et la quatrième radiation électromagnétique peuvent être associés à la deuxième radiation électromagnétique.

Abstract: An improved method and block transform for image or video encoding and decoding, wherein transformation and inverse transformation matrixes are defined such that computational complexity is significantly reduced when encoding and decoding. For example, in the two-dimensional inverse transformation of de-quantized transform coefficients into output pixel information during decoding, only four additions plus one shift operation are needed, per co-efficient transformation, all in sixteen-bit arithmetic. Transformations provide correct results because quantization during encoding and de-quantization (sixteen bit) during decoding, via the use of one of three tables selected based on each coefficient's position, have parameter values that already compensate for factors of other transformation multiplications, except for those of a power of two, (e.g., two or one-half), which are performed by a shift operation during the transformation and inverse transformation processes. Computational complexity is significantly reduced with respect to other known transforms without adversely impacting compression or quality.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plasma display apparatus. The plasma display apparatus according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a first electrode formed in a panel, and a first electrode driver configured to apply a driving waveform to the first electrode, wherein the first electrode driver applies different driving waveforms when motion images are output and when still images are output. In the plasma display apparatus constructed as described above according to an embodiment of the present invention, images are divided into still images and motion images. In the motion images, as a motion change increases, a driving waveform is varied by decreasing the number of set-up signals or sustain pulses, or by lowering a set-up voltage. Accordingly, the distortion of an image occurring as waveforms are varied can be minimized. Furthermore, there are advantages in that the margin of a driving signal can be enhanced, heat generated from a panel can be reduced, and damage to the panel can be prevented. In particular, there is an advantage in that a contrast characteristic of an image can be improved since a gray level difference can differ according to motion.

Title: Power control interface for a self-service apparatus
Inventor: HENDERSON JIM
IPC: G06F11/07
Filed: 2006-11-23
Abstract: A particular problem for self-service devices incorporating USB devices (12) and a USB host (14) is that, when communication is lost between the USB host and one or more of the devices it is difficult (in particular situations) to reset those USB devices without manual intervention. We address that problem by using self-powered USB devices and/or bus powered devices connected to USB hubs, and by creating a power control interface (18) which is itself a USB device. That power control interface takes instructions from the USB host and is able to interrupt a power supply (20) to the USB devices to provoke automatic reset of those devices. Additionally, a watchdog application within the power control interface causes reset of that interface should it malfunction. Also, a master watchdog application at the USB host communicates with a slave watchdog application at the power control interface via a USB link. In the event of cessation of heartbeat signals between the master and slave the power control interface sends a hardware reset signal to the USB host.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, une chaise est configurée pour permettre à la zone d'assise d'être modifiée pour recevoir différentes corpulences. Un ou plusieurs accoudoirs soutiennent de manière pivotante un dossier pour assurer un mouvement de translation tout en permettant au dossier de pivoter relativement à la surface d'assise. La combinaison du mouvement de translation et du mouvement rotatif permet d'exposer une partie plus ou moins importante de la surface d'assise, selon la corpulence de la personne utilisant la chaise. Le mouvement du dossier peut rencontrer une résistance au niveau des deux points d'articulation grâce à des ressorts de longueurs différentes. Facultativement, la rotation de l'angle de repos par défaut du dossier peut être synchronisée avec la translation de ce dernier. La chaise peut être conçue pour un rangement tant en empilement qu'en emboîtement.
